The article presents the results of an empirical study of the features of various components of future educators' ideas about digital education: cognitive, motivational, and activity. The highest average values for all courses were obtained by the cognitive component (the importance of the IT for modern education and the prospects for their introduction into education in the future) and the motivational component (children's interest in the IT and their own motivation to use them in their professional activities). The lowest average values were obtained for the cognitive component (the introduction of IT in modern education and the level of own knowledge about IT) and the activity (the formation of the necessary skills for using the IT in their future professional activities). The presence of a direct relationship between the various components of the future educators' ideas about digital education has been revealed. The most signifi cant is the relationship between assessing the level of students' knowledge about central heating and the level of their motivation to master and implement these technologies in their professional activities. There is a contradiction between students' awareness of the importance and prospects of digital education in the present and future (as a whole for the education system, for their own professional activities, for children) and their insuffi cient knowledge and skills in this area. This is an obstacle to the use of digital technology by students in their educational activities in the present and in future pedagogical activities.
